Zuo Yi Yun's mother had passed away many years ago, so without General Zuo, the entire Zuo family now treated Lin Ru as their leader and didn't dare to ask about Zuo Yi Yun. Zuo Yi Yun was getting thinner and thinner by the day.
Within the main hall of the underwater estate.
”What is Prime Minister Shui talking about? This is a mundane business, this is something I can take care of. Prime Minister Shui, hurry up and have this lady enter the palace. The emperor has something to ask her.” Eunuch Zhou said.
”Then let Prime Minister Shui pay the bill.” Eunuch Zhou said with a smile.
”Not at all.” Shui Hongfu said.
Eunuch Zhou took the cup of tea from the servant and left after exchanging a few pleasantries with Shui Hongfu. Once he left, Shui Hongfu found a random servant and said, ”Go inform that unfilial daughter of His Majesty's order: she is to enter the palace immediately!”
The servant nodded and went to Shui Qiannan's courtyard. Shui Hongfu kept sneering. Today was the day of your death. If you had a life to go to the palace, you wouldn't have a life to return!
Within the imperial palace.
”Father, you have to seek justice for this son.” Sixth Prince Hou Zhiwen cried.
”A man should never cry!” The emperor looked at Hou Zhiwen and said in dissatisfaction.
Seeing that the emperor was slightly unhappy, Hou Zhi Wen hurriedly changed his words, ”Father, even if you don't seek justice for this son of yours, you will still seek justice for the crown prince. Not only did the woman from the Shui family harm Zuo Yi Yun, she even caused the crown prince severe injuries. ”
”I know about this. I've already sent news of Shui Qiannan's visit to the Hall.” The emperor said plainly.
”Father, I have something that I don't know whether I should say or not.” Hou Ziming looked at the emperor and said hesitantly. The emperor looked at Hou Ziming and nodded, ”Feel free to speak.”
”Zuo Yi Yun suddenly disappeared from the Zuo Residence.” Hou Ziming said that although Lin Ru and her eldest daughter, Zuo Yi Meng, had concealed it well, he still received a secret report from an informant saying that Zuo Yi Yun had mysteriously disappeared.
Since he already knew, it was impossible for the emperor to not know.
”Yes, I already know. The justice courts have been sent to investigate in secret. ” The Emperor said.
”Reporting to the emperor, the Xia King requests an audience.” A young eunuch rushed into the palace in a flurry. The emperor watched this young eunuch who was useless like this and could even frighten him with a few words. He was slightly displeased and furrowed his brows without saying a word.
Eunuch Zhou had just come in from the outside and saw the situation. He quickly pointed at the eunuch and scolded, ”Useless thing, why are you so flustered when you see the emperor? Even if the emperor has intimidated you, you shouldn't lose your composure like this!”
”Alright, let him go down, and let the Xia King in as well.” The emperor said indifferently. After hearing Eunuch Zhou's words, his mood eased up and he waved his hand to dismiss the young eunuch.
”Hurry up and thank me!” Eunuch Zhou said with his eyes wide open.
